Chicken Rice?

I had drafted this in my mobile phone(I usually do this whenever I see/remember stuffs that I wanna put up in this blog, for fear that I'll forget later) but had forgotten abt it hahaha :

I remembered when Renee first tried chicken rice(only the rice)quite some time ago, she had liked it but after a few times eating it, she refused to eat it, maybe becos it's oily and rice is drier...

To prepare/accustom her to eatting 'outside' food when she attends nursery or when we go holidays with her, I started to prepare more of her meals with rice recently.
2 Sundays ago, we gave her chicken rice again. The first spoonful was rejected, as expected, but she finished her portion of it later, with the chicken :)

The same week - Wednesday, I brought her to Hougang mall and I ordered chicken rice for her again and she also finished up her portion(though slower) :D

Last Sunday, we gave her char siew + duck rice. As usual, seeing different food, she refused it but she's tried chicken rice and found it nice(again :>), she was more willing to try the char siew rice this time. And guess what? She liked it! hahaha, hurray!

~~~~~

And so, today, with the 3 of us waking up late(10:20am!), we decided not to cook her lunch again and when she heard me telling her daddy to buy char siew/duck rice, she nodded happily upon the word 'char siew' hahaha

Who does the princess love? ^-^

Yesterday evening, whilst on our way back, in the car...:

Mommy : "do you love mommy?"
Renee : "yes"
Mommy : "do you love papa?"
Renee : "no"
Mommy : "why?"
Renee : (not answering the qns)"mommy and renee, 2 only"
Mommy : "what about papa? papa sad ar". "do you love papa?"
Rneee : "no"
Papa : "ok, then papa dun bring you go out"
Renee : "mommy bring renee out"
Papa : "but papa go out with mommy ar"
Renee : "........."

This morning, she almost tripped over a cushion on the floor and I caught her on time. She laughed and said "ha, I almost fall"(she's still not using the correct tense now).
Didn't realise she knew how to and has been using this word "almost"...geez, see how kids can really pick up words from us and most of the time she even knew its meaning without us explaining it to her :)

Medicines?

Renee used to prefer chinese medication(when she first started hving phlegm, we brought her to the chinese physician as the western medication didn't work) but now, it seems like she prefers the western ones - of cos, which kid wouldn't? They're all soooo sweet! hahaha

Earlier this year, we had gone to the western doc for her fever and was also prescribed flu(orange clr fluid) and phlegm(green clr fluid) medication but we didn't let her consume as we brought her to the chinese physician when her fever subsided).
Few days ago, she caught the flu bug and with the choice doctor not being available(Public Holiday), I took the chance and gave her the earlier prescribed flu medicine and though she resisted at first, she later liked it! lolz. Can u imagine, she can even go "arhh arhh" with her mouth open and finger pointing towards it, asking u to give her more! and whenever u mentioned it's time for medication, she'll say : "I want orange one". Now, she'll say "orange and green" lolz.

And so from now on, 'threathening' her with medications will have to start with the 'colour' hahaha.

Apple = Nice "pee pee"?

Renee used to eat apples in small slices with its skin intact but later took a change from that to eating them in cube size without the skin. Recently, she took some of daddy's apples(sliced, with skin) and assuming that she likes it this way again, I prepared them the same way for her(after her lunch) a few days ago. However, after a few bites, she started to spit out the skin and told me she doesn't like the skin. *???*
I teased her : "U must eat the skin, it's good for you"
Renee : "No, I don't like"
I continued teasing her : "If you eat the apple skin, it'll make you mei mei ar, and your 'pee pee'(buttocks) will be nice nice ar"
Renee : (twisting/turning around to look at her buttocks) : "so cute"
hahahahaha

A quick revamp on the 'bottom branch' of the Xmas Tree

Can u spot any difference at all? lolz (well, u will, if u've got an eye for details ^-^)

Artwork display

The children were asked to blow at their wet paintwork with a straw to see the effect

Another artwork of Lion - this is the 2nd time with a different type of 'creation'

I find this pc of artwork is very 'useful' to the children esp those whose mommies are pregnant ^-^)

Xmas is coming!

Time flies and the Christmas holiday is coming again soon!
Though we're not Christians but Buddhists, we like to indulge in the 'wonderful' feelings this festive season brings - time to share love/gifts and gather together.
Usually, for X'mas and CNY, we'll also try to put up a little decor here and there at home, to create the mood and atmostphere and there's no exception this year!
We'll be having an overseas guest(one group just left last wk!) coming this week and since our cleaner was here on sat, I decided to put up our decor on Sat and Renee will go "it's soooo beauuuutiful" each time some ornaments are being put up lolz.

Here's some pics for u :

Our X'mas Tree! - must find time to re-arrange the ornaments, esp those at the bottom branches lolz

For this area, we used to 'create' the 'snow flakes' with the snow spray, which I find has better 'real' effects but cleaning can be abit messy. These 'flakes'(with glitters) were bought from Shanghai last year end but we only put them up this year, nice? :)

Smoking is bad...

Renee has been asking her daddy to 'don't smoke' for many times now...
Yesterday, she took his cigarette box and told him again :
Renee : papa, papa, dun smoke
Daddy : ok, papa is trying ok.
Renee : (with a stronger tone) dun smoke...
Daddy : why?
Renee : ermm becos it's dangerous, u see(pointing to the pic on the box), wait blood blood how, see aunty leg(duno how she get the idea that the diseased leg featured belongs to an 'aunty' lolz)

No Updates?

Some of you had asked why there's been no updates these few days, we're fine, thanks for your concern. Just having trouble trying to log-in to the internet since last week. Connection has been extremely slow and kept breaking whilst logged-in, so i've not been able to post any updates here. Only manage to try n do so now.
Singnet had suspected that a prog is blocking our surfing the internet and no, it's not our anti-vrius nor firewall - With this incident, I'm glad I've stucked to a 'safe' blog w/out putting up personal pics online :D
The Singnet guy will come over soon and hopefully by then, we'll know the reason/'culprit' and get the connection back.
So, stay tuned ya, Thanks!
